    • Networking and Sockets: Syn and Accept queue

    In this article, we delve into the mechanics of TCP connection management, focusing on the SYN queue and the accept queue. We explore backlog configurations, system parameters like net.core.somaxconn and net.ipv4.tcp_abort_on_overflow, and how they affect queue behavior.

    • Networking and Sockets: Endianness

    This article explores the concept of endianness in computer systems, focusing on how different byte orders (little-endian and big-endian) affect data interpretation in network communication. Through practical examples using Rust, we demonstrate the importance of handling endianness correctly when sending and receiving data between clients and servers.
